2 Kings 5:10

And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.

Cross-reference

In 2 Kings 5:14, Naaman obeys and is healed — this is the immediate fulfillment of Elisha's command in the same story.

In 2 Kings 5:13, Naaman's servants argue for obeying the simple command — this reasoning leads to the healing.

Leviticus 14:7 prescribes sprinkling blood seven times for leprosy cleansing — a parallel ritual with the same number and purpose.

Numbers 19:19 commands sprinkling on the seventh day followed by washing — a direct parallel of washing and the number seven for purification.

John 9:7 Parallel

In John 9:7, Jesus similarly sends a blind man to wash in Siloam for healing — a direct parallel to Elisha's command.

Leviticus 14:51 uses sevenfold sprinkling with water and blood to cleanse a house — a parallel purification ritual but for a different object.
